Why do we think of light as a wave if in a vacuum we still have light could it possibly be a bi product of multiple energie reacting on one another?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the wave-particle duality of light, emphasizing that light behaves as both an electromagnetic (EM) wave and a photon particle depending on the context. The wave-particle duality theorem is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that explains this dual behavior. Participants explore the idea of light potentially being a byproduct of multiple energy interactions, although this notion lacks empirical support. The conversation highlights the complexity of light's nature and the ongoing exploration of its properties.
